Passing R script variables into a batch script - r

Question

In an R script, I'm executing a batch file inside of a for loop.
for (i in 1:2){
shell(shQuote("\\\\NETWORK\\PATH\\TO\\THE\\FILE.BAT", "cmd"))
}
The batch script creates data and moves it to a SQL table that looks like this:
| Name | Version | Category | Value | Number | Replication |
|:-----:|:-------:|:--------:|:-----:|:------:|:-----------:|
| File1 | 1.0 | Time | 123 | 1 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.0 | Size | 456 | 1 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.0 | Time | 312 | 1 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.0 | Size | 645 | 1 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.0 | Time | 369 | 1 | 2 |
| File1 | 1.0 | Size | 258 | 1 | 2 |
| File2 | 1.0 | Time | 741 | 1 | 2 |
| File2 | 1.0 | Size | 734 | 1 | 2 |
| File1 | 1.1 | Time | 997 | 2 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.1 | Size | 997 | 2 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.1 | Time | 438 | 2 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.1 | Size | 735 | 2 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.1 | Time | 786 | 2 | 2 |
| File1 | 1.1 | Size | 486 | 2 | 2 |
| File2 | 1.1 | Time | 379 | 2 | 2 |
| File2 | 1.1 | Size | 943 | 2 | 2 |
| File1 | 1.2 | Time | 123 | 3 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.2 | Size | 456 | 3 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.2 | Time | 312 | 3 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.2 | Size | 645 | 3 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.2 | Time | 369 | 3 | 2 |
| File1 | 1.2 | Size | 258 | 3 | 2 |
| File2 | 1.2 | Time | 741 | 3 | 2 |
| File2 | 1.2 | Size | 734 | 3 | 2 |
| File1 | 1.3 | Time | 997 | 4 | 1 |
| File1 | 1.3 | Size | 997 | 4 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.3 | Time | 438 | 4 | 1 |
| File2 | 1.3 | Size | 735 | 4 | 1 |
However, I'd like for the Number and Replication column to be declared in the R script, not the batch file.
I know I can do that like this:
Replication <- i
Number <- as.integer(sqlQuery(dbhandle, "select max(Number) from Table"))
Number<-ifelse(is.na(Number), 1, Number + 1)
My question though is how can I pass these variables into the batch script? Can I pass parameters into the batch script?
So that in my batch script, I could have something similar to this:
set Rep=[Replication variable from R]
set Num=[Number variable from R]
